Council presses for programmatic library maintenance after Benjamin L. Hooks update

City administration visited to deliver updates on facility conditions and maintenance at the Benjamin L. Hooks Library, the chair said, and Washington credited Director Jamerson and his team for the briefing. "City administration visited to deliver updates on facility conditions and maintenance at the Benjamin Hooks Library, demonstrating that both accountability and initiative from director Jamerson and his wonderful team," she said.

Washington said the council continued to urge the administration to show forethought and a programmatic approach in maintaining all libraries.
